Differential impacts of long-term exposure to ozone pollution on mortality in patients with hemorrhagic versus ischemic stroke
Evidence suggests that increased ozone (O3) pollution is linked to increased incidence and mortality of cardiovascular disease in general populations. However, the relationship between long-term exposure to ambient O3 and mortality in stroke patients remains inconclusive. The objective of this study was to investigate the impacts of long-term O3 exposure on all-cause and cause-specific mortality following first-incident hemorrhagic or ischemic st…
Spatio-temporal distribution and aggregation analysis of road traffic fatalities in Shandong Province, China, 2012–2022
Objective This study aimed to analyze the temporal and spatial distribution, as well as spatio-temporal aggregation, of road traffic fatalities in Shandong Province, China, from 2012 to 2022, with the aim of establishing scientific foundation for crafting customized intervention strategies and preventive actions to mitigate road traffic fatalities. Methods Data were obtained from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention Population De…
Critical care, critical gaps
Background Burnout in intensive care unit (ICU) healthcare workers (HCWs) is a persistent threat to patient safety and workforce stability. While most evidence is derived from crisis settings, the behavioral determinants of burnout in routine, post-pandemic ICUs remain under-explored. This study applies a Knowledge-Attitude-Practice (KAP) framework to assess burnout-related KAP and identify its demographic, occupational, and institutional predict…
Impact of drink-driving penalty enhancement policies on road traffic injury deaths among vulnerable road users in Shandong Province
Road traffic injuries (RTIs) rank as the seventh leading cause of death in China, with over 70% of these fatalities involving vulnerable road users (VRUs). In 2011, the Chinese government revised and implemented a new road traffic safety law, imposing harsher penalties for drink-driving. This study examined the trends in mortality rates from RTIs among VRUs in Shandong Province from 2006 to 2023. It also evaluated the impact of the stricter drunk…
Bidirectional effect modification of greenness exposure and air pollution on ischemic stroke mortality across different temporal scales
Greenness exposure across different temporal scales significantly reduced mortality risk among IS patients, demonstrating notably enhanced protective effects in regions with elevated air pollution. Among air pollutants, NO2 significantly modified this relationship. Despite limitations such as spatial resolution variability in exposure assessments, these findings offer compelling evidence for greening interventions in regions experiencing high air…
The effects of ambient temperature on road traffic injuries in Jinan city
Objectives: The impact of climate change, especially extreme temperatures, on health outcomes has become a global public health concern. Most previous studies focused on the impact of disease incidence or mortality, whereas much less has been done on road traffic injuries (RTIs). This study aimed to explore the effects of ambient temperature, particularly extreme temperature, on road traffic deaths in Jinan city. Methods: Daily data on road traff…
Short-term ozone exposure on stroke mortality and mitigation by greenness in rural and urban areas of Shandong Province, China
Our findings add to the evidence that short-term O 3 exposure increases ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke mortality and has adverse effects in urban and rural areas. However, improving greenness levels may contribute to mitigating the detrimental effects of O 3 on ischaemic stroke mortality
Association between ambient cold exposure and mortality risk in Shandong Province, China
Introduction: Numerous studies have reported the modification of particulate matters (PMs) on the association between cold temperature and health. However, it remains uncertain whether the modification effect may vary by size of PMs, especially in Shandong Province, China where the disease burdens associated with cold temperature and PMs are both substantial. This study aimed to examine various interactive effects of cold exposure and ambient PMs…
Socioeconomic status and quality of life among older adults with hypertension in rural Shandong, China
Background Improving the quality of life (QoL) of older adults is becoming an important global issue. However, very few studies have been focused on the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and QoL in older adults with hypertension. The purpose of this study is to investigate (a) the status of QoL and (b) the mediating effect of social capital in the relationship between SES and QoL, among rural older adults with hypertension in China.…
Effects of the Covid-19 Lockdown on Air Pollutant Levels and Associated Reductions in Ischemic Stroke Incidence in Shandong Province, China
Background Local governments in China took restrictive measures after the outbreak of COVID-19 to control its spread, which unintentionally resulted in reduced anthropogenic emission sources of air pollutants. In this study, we intended to examine the effects of the COVID-19 lockdown policy on the concentration levels of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters of ≤1 μm (PM 1 ), ≤2.5 μm (PM 2.5 ), and ≤10 μm (PM 10 ), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 …
Ideal cardiovascular health status and its association with socioeconomic factors in Chinese adults in Shandong, China
The prevalence of meeting all 7 cardiovascular health metrics was low in the adult population. Women, young subjects, and those with higher levels of education or income tend to have a greater number of the ideal cardiovascular health metrics. Higher socioeconomic status was associated with an increasing prevalence of meeting 5 or more cardiovascular health metrics in women but not in men. It's urgent to develop comprehensive population-based int…
Are 24 h urinary sodium excretion and sodium
Objective To examine the association of 24 h urinary Na excretion and Na:K with obesity in Chinese adults. Design Population-based cross-sectional study using a four-stage stratified sampling strategy. Setting Shandong Province, China. Subjects Chinese adults ( n 1906) aged 18–69 years who provided complete 24 h urine samples. Results Odds of obesity increased significantly across increasing quartiles of urinary Na excretion (1·00, 1·54, 1·69 and…
Prevalence of overweight and obesity and their associations with blood pressure among children and adolescents in Shandong, China
The representative survey confirms high prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents in Shandong. Childhood obesity is a strong risk factor for high BP. Intervention programs should be implemented to combat the growing obesity epidemic
